For $20,000, would you go for three months without washing, brushing your teeth, or using deodorant? Assume you could not explain your reasons to anyone, and that there would be no long-term effect on your career.
Seriously? $20,000 to basically do nothing? Where do I sign up? I mean, sure, I’ll probably be unpleasant to hang around after the first few days. But who says my personality wouldn’t typically rub people the wrong way after a few days anyway? The fact that I wouldn’t be able to tell anyone about the cash payoff in three months just makes the situation funnier. And it would be interesting to know which people in my life would just be polite and say nothing about my foul stench and which ones would be true friends who would say, “Dude, you stink.” I value honesty, people.

I would do the same thing. Screw everyone else. And who says you can’t stand outside when it rains or run through other people’s sprinklers? It’s like taking a showering without actually breaking the rules.

That’s how I wash my car. The rain… not sprinklers… though that would make for an interesting afternoon.

My initial reaction was absolutely not. But that’s $1,667 USD a week so sign me up!

Well… I could swim, right? So basically I can wash myself while swimming. Or I could stand in the rain… then there is many ways to clean your teeth besides brushing, so I could cover that too… Deodorant I never use anyway… I think I would be up for the challenge especially given the nice reward… Good question though 😉
